Shreveport police officer arrested

Shreveport police officer LaBrian Marsden, 26, was booked into the City Jail on Friday on a charge of simple battery. He also was placed on administrative leave.

Marsden was put on leave at least one other time following an officer-involved shooting that took the life of 31-year-old Elijah Haggerty, who was apprehended after shooting a woman in 2012.

Robbery suspects sought by police

Shreveport police are looking for two men who robbed a McDonald's restaurant May 4.
